Quote a single sentence in that link that contradicts anything I've written
about TVE, Craig. Just one sentence.
The customers in a Comcast neighborhood, a Cox neighborhood, a Dish
neighborhood and a Verizon FIOS neighborhood all access the SAME TVE servers
for the channels they pay for.
False again, Craig. Read slowly. You still haven't grasped this:
The bundles are not identical, in the different MVPDs. The amount you pay is
not identical, for bundles from different MVPDs. The number of TVE programs the
MVPD has negotiated the rights to transmit over IP, are not identical.
THEREFORE, your statement above is false. The TVE choices you have are not
exactly the same, at the same price, as the guy subscribed to a different MVPD.
I could be slightly mistaken
Yes indeed. So, instead of stubbornly digging in, begin with that comment. Then
the rest of your post can be omitted. And a long series of posts before this
one.
The simple fact is, the MVPD provides authentication and fee collection
services. There is NO TECHNICAL REASON why these services need to be
neighborhood dependent. None. The only excuse becomes a legacy franchise
agreement excuse, which can be updated at the stroke of a pen.
Now do you see what I meant by the subject line?
